Rule 3 : You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.
The above is very possible up here....

Often we have 17-18 yr olds with more than 1 mobile (they have an Optus & Telstra and use the appropriate one to text mates with similar for $0.01) working shift work on the site making $80k+

I've never seen so many P platers driving $25k+ vehicles....
